What is Review of Russian-language studies on radionuclide behaviour in agricultural animals: part 4. Transfer to poultry about?
Data on radionuclide transfer to domestic chickens and ducks obtained from research performed in the former Soviet Union were reviewed to provide transfer coefficient values (Ff) to poultry and edible egg contents. The majority of the data are from experiments with 90 Sr and 137 Cs, reflecting the importance of these radionuclides after global fallout and major radiation accidents. Data for 3 H, 54 Mn, 59 Fe, 60 Co, 22 Na 65 Zn, 131 I and U are also given. The values derived have been compared with those in the current IAEA Handbook of parameter values for the prediction of radionuclide transfer in temperate environments (TRS 364) and the recent revision which incorporates the values from this paper. The Russian-language data give improved estimates for many radionuclides and the revised handbook is now based on the better quality data given for chronic administration.
